Ministry resigning. | don't think
that the Ministry should say any
thing about that so as TO influence
votes. l do say that if this bill does
not pass then the Ministry is not in
accord with the House.
The ayes and noes were called on
motion TO reconsider, ayes "a,
noes 8.
The bill was referred to a COM
mittee of seven to report back the
same on Saturday.
The President announced CON-
munication from the King on two
bills he had vetoed. The rules were
suspended and the communication
was read by the Secretary.
After the communication was
read, the President stated that it
was in order for the House to fix
time to consider whether these bills
should become law, or the veto
be sustained.
Minister Ashford moved that they
be considered on Wednesday next.
He had grave doubt whether or not
this action on the part of the King
would have TO be sustained by the
signature of one of his responsible
Minister'S. BY ednesday the House
will have had time to enter into the
consideration of this matter and in
quire as to its constitutionality. He
had fixed the time ahead so that all
the elective members could be pre-
sent.
Mr.. Kinney-Did the Cabinet adj
wise the vetoing of these bills?
Minister Alphabetically no.
The Cabinet advised the King to
sign every one.
Did the Cabinet know these were
likely to be vetoed?
Minister Ashford-This action is
taken outside of the Cabinet.
Mr.. Kamauoha moved the cons-
Iteration of the matter be postponed
to the next session.
Mr.. Young said this question was
of greater magnitude than the
Chinese immigration bill. How was
the Attorney-General going to get
the absent members here by We'd
nesday?
Minister Ashford said the Cabinet
had not agreed ON any definite plan,
but had come to the conclusion that
by sending vessel they could get
them here.
Minister Thurston said this was
one of the very foundations of their
Government. The sentiment of the
House ought to be carefully weigh
ed. Every member should be in
his place. The question involved
was whether the people we're to rule
or monarch removed from respon-
sibility. Every district has right
to be presented, and if the members
cannot be got here by Wednesday,
why postpone the time until they
can.
Mr.. Nakaleka favored postpone
ment to the next session.
Mr.. Castle said this was a ques-
ton that had to be settled at once.
He moved it be considered by the
House on Monday, December 10Th.
Agreed to.
On motion the Kings message
was ordered to be printed and dis
tributed among the members.
Minister Brown reported it has
pleased the King TO sign the follow
ing bills: An Acts making special
appropriations; an Act to indemni-
fly the Minister of Finance; an Act
relating to the practice of medi-
cine; an Act authorizing the Min
lister of Finance to execute and de-
liver certain bonds; an Act to
